I don't use my lessons on different animal species or cloud types in my adult life either, doesn't mean the experience of learning wasn't useful or important or that my teachers failed to teach it properly...

Interesting write up! Did you happen to try this with a CTE instead of a subquery? ie something like: WITH tmp AS (SELECT accounts_other.id, COUNT(*) n FROM accounts accounts_other JOIN stacks stacks_othe

Thats a good point, and I think in general I think using professional sports as an example either for or against unions is a bad faith argument because of the unique dynamics present.

Sorry that happened, sounds like it was a very difficult experience. Talking this through with your manager or a trusted coworker is definitely going to yield better advice than what people can offer without context. However a few thoughts:

Personally, I think SQLs verbose syntax is a good thing, and increases clarity/interpretability. It reduces cognitive load to have things explicitly listed out. Not having the table and column names in the query itself makes it much ha

1. Just because you can doesn't mean people will. 2. That doesn't work if you need to have multiple keys pointing to the same table (ie owner_id and secondary_owner_id pointing to a users table)

I think it comes down to how incentives are structured. In my experience, if someone who is promoted from L to L+1 fails to succeed at that new level, that person's manager is dinged for pushing a promotion that the person wasn't

If I follow you on Twitter or give you access to my contact info on that platform, do you have the right to export and import into another platform? I think thats a core question that we have not collectively answered.

> MacOS is a strictly consumer-facing platform for running App Store Apps, so I’m confused as to who is even objecting to this feature. So true, which is why so many of their products have "Pro" in the name.

To me yes, for the same reason pulling fire alarms at various company office buildings to see how they respond would be considered human experimentation.

Hmm at a previous company we paid about $1.25/mo/device to connect to T-mobile's 2G network. Knowing how "Enterprise" pricing often works in other sectors, I actually wouldn't be surprised if larger companies p

$8 is a lot but to be fair, Disney+ is almost certainly losing money per subscriber. $8 in this case also has to cover the cost of the 4G connection, which likely is in the $1 to $2 range.

Agree, but I think this boils down to a disagreement over at what point a FSD beta is ready for public testing.

As someone who shares a road with Teslas, it feels like I have been enrolled in this beta without my consent, and without any tangible benefits to me. What are the arguments for why non-owners should support this approach?

I'm speaking mostly about SFUSD covid guidelines[1], which prominently mention hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, gloves, and gowns. AFAIK we have no evidence of those being effective at reducing indoor transmission. Re: risk, I think
